What happened to all the billboards?
You may remember these billboards? They advertised, “The Family That Prays Together Stays Together?” A google search revealed pictures and a website — http://www.familytheatr.org The site describes the origins of the campaign as well as current billboard topics. According to the website: “Father Peyton started Family Theater in 1947 to produce the series of the same name and to use mass media to promote prayer, moral values and unity among families everywhere. A young ad executive and an accomplished copywriter, Al Scalpone, donated his services to Family Theater in 1947 and wrote the now famous slogan, "The Family That Prays Together Stays Together ™" as well as "A World at Prayer is a World at Peace ®" for the radio series. They became the mottos for Father Peyton and his organization. In 1947, a Los Angeles outdoor advertising company representative was taken by the slogan, "The Family That Prays Together Stays Together ™." He heard it on the "Family Theater" radio series. The company offered to put the slogan on vacant billboards as a public service. The idea caught on with other advertising companies. These messages have appeared on more 100,000 billboards throughout the country, courtesy of outdoor advertising associations and companies, and have been seen more than 400 million times, according to outdoor advertising associations’ estimates. The campaign continues today with three new, contemporary posters designed in 2001. Read more | comments
